    It could also seen as meaning its compatible with the 360 (plus) as in 360 and future consoles which would probably be the meaning from that.

    It could also mean it's going to work with things like PC's as we all know that's Bill's vision as well (as well as getting rid of malaria)

    I wouldn't read too much into it at all.

    There was something else like this dotted about the web a few weeks back. Like the HEXUS article it said a new version of the 360 (with built in camera) or as an add on for existing users. For the same kind of rumour to appear elsewhere there may actually be more to it than speculation.

    I reckon it will just be the normal xbox with the Project natal included in the box.

    I thought this had already been confirmed?

    Re: News - Xbox 360+ to be Microsoft's next console?

    Im with Grey M@a on this one, first thing I thought was for the Xbox 360 and future consoles, not a really bad name for a newer xbox 360.
    And surely they couldnt fully integrate the thing into the console, it would have to still have a 'sense' bar that you stick infront of your TV like the Wii, so then whats the point in trying to intergrate it?!
    I might be wrong as I haven't read to much on Natal (only just got a xbox 3 months back lol and still trying to work out how my hands use the controller instead of a mouse and kb!)

    Am I the only one not excited about full body motion control then? If I wanted to move around to achieve something I'd get off the console.

    I prefer the other direction, just plug it into my brain.
